| | It doesnt seem to matter what i do, I cant seem to keep my grill hot when i cook with charcoal. How do you guys do it? Lot of fluid, let it sit for a while? Could it be my grill? I always have a big fire and put my food on as soon as it goes out, and the food never gets done. Please explain in detail. Thanks | |

| Try this:
- Pour in enough briquettes to make an even layer, one briquette deep.
- Then pile the briquettes in a high, cone-shaped pile.
- Douse them with starter fluid. Not too much. Just hit every coal you can see.
- Let the fluid soak in for a minute.
- Light the briquettes and let the flames burn out.
- Leave the briquettes stacked for 5 to 10 minutes until most of them have white ash on the edges. Go by how they look, not by your watch.
- Using a long fork or tongs, spread the coals out in an even layer and give it several more minutes.
- Important! Make sure the vents on the bottom and top of the grill are open to allow air to the fire.
- The fire should be hot enough that you can not keep your hand above the grill. You are ready to cook.

| Had a tough time converting from Charcoal - did it 7 years ago and it really depends on the grill you select. Go with a Weber Gas Grill - flavorizor bars that are standard really make the difference.
I cook on charcoal - now only once in a while and it is a pain! I re-vamped my weber gas grill this past spring - so it has another 7 years of life! Paid $350 new and use it almost daily - well worth the money spent and cheaper to operate than having to buy charcoal, fluid and matches.
Good luck! | | | |

| Go wal-mart get a charcoal chimney . . . called different things at differet stores and you might have to wait till summer to buy one it's with the grilling stuff seasonaly it's looks like a giant aluminum travel mug and follow the directions that it comes with it start the coals for you and then you just dump them inthe grill no lighter fluid which i can't stand like mentioned above make sure you have are getting tot he fire.
